How did the Shence Army, which became an important force to defend the imperial power, rise in the middle Tang Dynasty?

Shortly after Tang Suzong's death, Tang Daizong didn't play well and even lost the imperial city. The key point is that all the army chiefs of staff are watching Tang Daizong's jokes, so Tang Daizong felt like he was going to capsize for a while.

Tang Daizong can get through this, mainly because there are two people standing firmly behind him.

The first person is Yu Chaoen.

The second man is Guo Ziyi.

These two men firmly supported Tang Daizong and became the backbone of his comeback.

At that time, Yu En was in Shaanxi, and the army he controlled was Shence Army.

At this time, the Shence Army is still an ordinary army, because it can no longer be ordinary in terms of strength and establishment. If there is anything special, it is because he is directly managed by the great eunuch Yu Chaoen.

After Dai Zong escaped from Chang 'an, Shence Army finally ushered in the most important turning point in the history of army building.

Now the emperor is in a critical situation, and the major armies of the empire are consciously or unconsciously choosing to take sides; What should the Shence Army do?

With Yu Chaoen's shares, we naturally don't need careful analysis, and we also know that we should stand on Tang Daizong's side. Because as a big eunuch, his relationship with today's emperor is almost tied together. If today's emperor is seized by force, he will have no future at all.

For example, Bian Lingcheng, a great eunuch in the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, cried and fled to Tang Suzong's side after Tang Suzong came to the top, but let Tang Suzong directly cut off his head. In a word, on behalf of the people and the government, I will shoot you, the great eunuch who has brought disaster to the country and the people.

In this way, Tang Suzong seems bent on cracking down on eunuchs. The problem is that in the era, the most powerful military and political chief of the central government was the great eunuch Li; Eunuch Yu Chaoen is the most powerful military and political chief in the local military region, and Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and Bu Guhuai are all under his control.

It can be seen from here that the new emperor who seized power from the class would severely crack down on eunuchs; That is, the new emperor who robbed the class and seized power would reuse eunuchs; The great eunuch that the old emperor used to reuse also had to stand aside. Therefore, after Tang Suzong reached the summit, Gao Lishi no longer had its former scenery; As for Bianling City, it was directly beheaded by the new emperor.

On which side should Yu Chaoen's Shence Army stand in terms of interests?

It's hard to say. Everything is obvious. If Yu Chaoen had no extraordinary organizational and management skills, he could be hacked to death by soldiers at any time under the background at that time. Because a dead eunuch who ruined the country and people actually became the commander-in-chief of the army, what is this called? To sum up, only by cutting off all the dead eunuchs can the empire have a chance to revive.

At this critical moment, Yu Chaoen showed amazing organization and management ability.

Although there is no specific historical data, Yu Chaoen's speech during the mobilization of the three armed forces can also be analyzed. In short, the world is shaking and the emperor is in crisis. If you are willing to actively defend the emperor, you will become the first army in the world in the future!

This kind of military mobilization is very tempting. Therefore, not only the Shence Army responded positively to Chao En, but also other miscellaneous troops in Shaanxi Province. Of course, these miscellaneous armies in Shaanxi were soon incorporated into the establishment of the Shence Army.

Many years later, these soldiers will recall their choices at that time and feel that this is one of the most important and correct choices in life. Even their families would think so.

Because after the emperor stabilized the situation, their wages and bonuses were greatly improved; At the peak of their salary and bonus, they are said to be three times as high as the ordinary army.

The Shenzen Army is notorious for two reasons. The first reason is that this army is managed by the eunuch system; The second reason is that the treatment of this army is too generous, which makes other military regions envy and hate. Because everyone's work looks no different, why is the salary so high?

But anyway, after Daizong escaped this robbery, the Shence Army began to gradually become the first army in the world!

Because at the moment of the emperor's greatest crisis, they proved with practical actions that they were truly loyal to the emperor's army; It is also the great wall of steel waiting for the emperor. In this context, the economic system controlled by the Tang Empire naturally gave blood transfusion to this army at all costs; With the powerful hematopoietic capacity of the central government of the Tang Empire, as long as a certain army is given blood transfusion at any cost, it will certainly become the most effective army.

Because, with strong economic security, the equipment of this army is bound to be the best.

And with strong economic security, the treatment of this army is definitely the best. Generally speaking, the average salary of the Ce Shen army is almost three times that of the ordinary army.

The key point is that as the emperor's most direct army, soldiers serving in this army will definitely have better promotion opportunities than other armies.

With these three conditions, this army can naturally formulate all kinds of the most demanding conditions when recruiting. In other words, if you have never used your life, blood and sweat to prove that you are the emperor's most loyal minion; You must have the best physical condition and receive the strictest training, otherwise, you will never want to join this army.

This is like, now a company's hardware facilities rank first in the country, its salary income ranks first in the country, and its chances of getting ahead are first in the country. A person can enter such a company, there must be extraordinary reasons! In this context, this company must be a gathering of elites.

Because the central government nationalized the military power and once tried to achieve it by expanding the Shence Army, the expansion of the Shence Army was very fast.

As I said before, this army is notorious for two reasons.

First, this army has always belonged to the eunuch system. An army controlled by a dead eunuch must represent an evil army.

Second, the salary of this army is three times that of ordinary troops. Why do soldiers eat so well? The point is that the government still refuses to let them do hard and tiring work. How can it make sense? Later, the northern army rebelled, which was a very important reason.

Because of the first reason, when the emperor wants to bring an army into the establishment of the Shence Army, this army will inevitably be psychologically excluded, because we will be managed by eunuchs from now on, which is really a shame for our ancestors.

The problem is, for the second reason, when the emperor wants to incorporate an army into the establishment of the Shence Army, this army may be happy to set off firecrackers.

This is like, a temporary worker has worked for many years, and suddenly he hears that he is going to change to a formal establishment. Can he be unhappy? Doing the same job will triple the salary and bonus in the future. Do you think people can often encounter such good things in their lives? Not only will he be happy to hear the news, but so will his whole family. Because this is really an important turning point on the road of life.

At this moment, if he suddenly hears his supervisor and doesn't want to stamp the last chapter for himself for various reasons, he must have killed his supervisor!
